The snowy day

During reader's workshop we used the book The Snowy Day to respond to literature. Here are some of the activities we did. We made text-to-self connections. They drew Peter in the snow and then they drew themselves in the snow. They loved this activity. You can find this in my Wintery Fun Unit on TPT.

The next day we made a story map. As I mapped out the story on our large story map, they got their clip boards and made their own story map along with me.

So excited to find your Snowy Day ideas!! I bought a class set of Snowy Day books from Scholastic last year and haven't used them with my class yet!! Score!! I will definitely check out your unit on TPT!!

Thanks for the wonderful ideas for The Snowy Day. It will be perfect for my Title I kinder kiddos when we go back to school since we have a few inches of snow! Did you complete the illustrated story map first, and then the kids copied it? That's a cute idea. I only have 25 min. with my groups so I need to have a quick project; thinking the kids could complete theirs with me as I do it.

Hi! I'm stopping by to let you know that I loved yourworksheet and I featured it on my Snowy Day unit round-up! Come by to see the post here: http://maros-kindergarten.blogspot.gr/2013/01/blog-post.html I would love your feedback!
